Hello all. I've been trying to find this coin for under $200 but it's been tough. Does anyone have any leads? It must be a counter mark of the same type. Thanks
I see them on eBay at times Swervo, but I've never noticed how much they sell for. I'd keep your eye open for one there. Bruce
$200? I would doubt that would happen, but more power to you if you can find it. Personally, I am looking for 8 reales from the mid 19th century countermarked in Thailand if anyone ever sees one for sale.
Oh well, one could only hope. Saw it yesterday on eBay for 202 with auction still going but I didn't bid. Medora If I am thinking of the right coin I see those often on eBay. I'll let you know if I come across one again.
You'll want to be careful. There are a lot fakes of that coin out there. I've said it so many times I am almost hoarse from saying it - you only want to buy from trusted and respected sellers. And an ebay feedback rating does not make one trusted and respected !
Thanks for the advice. I went to the ny coin show at the Waldorf hotel today and learned a lot. These coins usually sell for over 1000 in good condition. eBay is far from being a reliable source and it is always better to see a coin in person. I'm going to look into local dealers from now on. I wish this coin show would be around for longer.
